At 3 AM drunk spider goes to see his Ex and gets attacked... familiar story :D
Sounds like a song drake should make "just move on were crawling home"
joey brown I'm done lol
Dillon Rust DUDE LMAO XD
I can't spin this web alone
Lol i can tell theres a story behind this comment
Leaves hole, crawls half a mile across a freezing baron desert, gets brutally rejected, staggers half a mile back, crawls back in hole.
Sounds like my average Saturday night.
Sane Man underrated
Best comment!
This comment has less likes than it needs
same
That's just Tinder out here in the sticks.
Reporter: " The spider uses the vibrations in the ground to listen his way home."
The spider: "Wheres that damn spoon?"
😂
😸
This should be top comment
I laughed at this too hard. Better than any other comment :)
Lmao
“Looks like he’s going to get some”, seconds later
“Looks like the female is going to eat him”.
Perfect description of the entirety of class Arachnida.
Basically my sex life
2:37 "Mission failed. We'll get 'em next time."
lol
fission mailed
+cometome255 Fission mailed.. that's gonna be bad
Is this from COD lol
+EliteGamerShow nope
They should’ve named it the polite spider, he knocks before entering :>
Must be from canada
@@somethingsomething-raw 🤣🤣🤣
She heard him knocking, but he cant come in.
🤣
He didn’t get a reply so he just walked in

To those wondering after all these years, these spiders actually have excellent night vision.
then why was it tapping? i need proof
@@everythingunique641 It's mostly for communication, probably making sure the other spiders don't see it as prey
its navigating by starlight and the tapping and crouching is the ancient chinese technique. you know when they lay down and put their ears on the ground.
after all these years, it turns out people think they know the answers to yesterday's questions because they have google
@@FartInYourFace234 You find it surprising that over a _decade_ later people would have researched the mechanics behind this spider's vision and realise they have tapetum lucidum in their eyes like many other animals?
Are you going to continue to stay willfully ignorant because the information you sought out was found with a _search engine_ ?...
Instead of trying to come up with a (not so) clever response - next time do some light research yourself; you'll learn something, and you won't look like a _massive_ fool.
I hate spiders, but yet I found myself rooting for this little guy.
I love they have a camera just for filming another camera
LittleFilms is for different angles...
Sony product placement ;)
Sully Micheals lol Now that I look at it again I think you're right.
#metaphotography
I was wondering the same thing
The life of a male spider sure does suck.
there isn't a simple "no" from the female. it's either a yes or a brutal attack. lol
Or yes, then a brutal attack
Must be a feminist.
We need to fight for male-spider rights !
Wow, you got me there. I do love me some foreskin.
When your girl says "I want to eat you", but actually means it.
This documentary is so goofy I loved it. The candid narration, the inexplicable spoons, and at the center stage this oddity of a spider.
Directed by Tommy Wisseau.
It's all there, The spoon, Lisa is tearing him apart. Everybody betrays him and then he goes back into his hole and commits suicide.
It’s not inexplicable, the narrator literally says the spoons have been placed to mark the dens. Do you even pay attention
@@iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii4222 trying too hard
The spoons are there so the observers know where the burrows are... they are white so they reflect infrared very well, they stick in the sand easy, and they are cheap
You can't really be that dense can you.
The spoons are random, they explained them
*RUclips:* wanna see a white lady spider back from 10 years ago?
Me: Actually yes
Wth I didn't notice it was from 10 years
@@ps5594 me neither 😂😂
Smartbud Guy I just peeped that too😂😂wtf
Haha exactly what I thought.
Candace Juan 😂
Video been up since 2009.... My RUclips recommended first glimpse of White lady spider...Ten Years later
Same
fucking same
Same. Damn, thats the matrix...
Me too buckaroo
Haha I wonder why now?
"Go on, good lad, looks like he's going to get some. OH NO!"
The spider traveled all the way across town just to see if his girlfriend was still mad at him . And she was 😂
the funny thing is that you could accurately use this narration for human relationships
Thats not the reaction hes after i think she wants to eat him
@Jack what
Nico Kuehnen LMAO
Recap:
Boy goes to girls house and waits outside her window
Play a song and tries to get her attention
No response
Tries to tresspass
She tries to kill him
He walks home in defeat
dies alone
i crie evytim
the story of my life
anthropomorphizing spiders.
what do you expect from humans.
a nonhuman species like dolphins rapes the opposite sex regardless of sex You Don't Have To Be A man/boy to be a rapist when you're a dolphin
I love this commentator, he’s like the spiders bro who’s monitoring the date from across the room and rooting for his pal.
I know it's the thing that creeps a lot of people out but I really like the way spiders walk ... Always looks like they're bopping along whistling a tune . Something jaunty 🤣
"Indeed, a fine night for a stroll!"
The spider said as he tipped his top hat toward me.
Read your comment right at :30 and it fit perfectly 😂
Ba doo Ba dee bop. Boo boo boo booooo. Shubee dooby deee bop.
never heard a narrator say 'go onnnn' lol the bias
I was waiting for a cheeky "Go on GET INNN!"
It was lit. 🤣🤣
"Looks like hes gonna get some iOOOOH NOOO!" Guys are always lookin out for other guys
he was persistent though. 😚😁
@@Jsko_ Aw did someone shit in your cereal this morning? Grow the fuck up lmao
I really like this commentator can we have this man more often
Elise Hartlance
That too

No
You stick with this guy... I'll stay with David Attenborough. 😊
Yes, I like him too! He seems to genuinely enjoy narrating. Though I do have a fondness for David Attenborough as well.

"I told you to stop showing up at my door in the middle of the night!" I understand her reaction.
“Becky lemme smash”
“No ron”
“Pls i travelled over 200 meters for you becky”
“No ron”
“Becky pls”
"How does thomas find his way home". Idk maybe the giant spoons you left for him? Lol
+Alex Mills But he was like far away & it was dark.
+Alex Mills I highly doubt vibration would be a reliable source of navigation... Winds and shifts in the sand among other things would totally change the sensitivity of the vibrations, especially at such a length from home. While they could certainly use it to find hollow areas and thus animals in tunnels (much like we tap walls and listen to find studs) I can't fathom vibration working to keep the spider on track especially because that would assume the spider goes to the exact spot it tapped on before in order to verify it is going the right way. All spiders to my knowledge "smell" through their feet. I'd imagine using a sort of "chem trail" - that is, olfactible traces left behind by other animals, in order to track this female would be more probable. It could also mean the habit laying low to the ground is implemented to produce its own pheromone "bread crumbs" of Hansel and Gretel fame thus allowing it to follow his own scent back to his lair. This wouldn't be that remarkable - MANY insects smell with their feet and many are known to use this trait as a navigation tool (ie ants). Just an idea.
+Madethis Togoogle it makes sense, but the dude took another route home...
+Vo iD exactly, plus we compare his sensitivity to ours. You have no idea how his body perceives, and responds to vibrations. Surely much more intricately than us "tapping on a wall looking for a stud". Lol
+Madethis Togoogle "It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because
it is dumb to his dull perceptions." -Mark Twain
Who knew being a spider was so stressful
*raises hand* life is stressful and full of loss and sadness then we die :)
Ik, swinging on webs and saving people, all while balancing school, work, and relationships can be very stressful...
Great? No.
Outright Glorious!
Thank you for sharing the privilege of this amazing glimpse into a world we have no other way of seeing.
2:14
camera man: go on GO ON lolol you want some action boi
"Go on... Go on. Good lad. Looks like he's gonna get some- Oh no! That's not the reaction he's after. I think she wants to *eat* him."
Oh well, maybe next time.
IamCaptainMan lol
Mission failed, we’ll get them next time.
A+ narration lol
I like how he said it so casually lol.
There's a camera to film the camera capturing the nocturnal behaviour of a male White Lady Spider. What an amazing use of resource.
Really? What about the camera filming that camera :3?
Vestin
Your eyes are that camera...
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
It would be a quick film of the camera moving about a bit before they pack up, so yeah - kinda.
boop
They need multiple cameras for different angles anyways, plus it's Sony advertising to show that the cameras are all made by them.
2009: video is made
RUclips in 2019: *RECCOMEND*
ah yes, bright white. the perfect camouflage for a nocturnal hunter
Kalificus who needs camouflage when nobody can fucking see
got a good point there lad
The comment above raises a good point. Also, would it not make sense for a spider in the desert to be white? Ya know, just in case he gets caught out in the hot sun?
A lot of night hunters are white.
Dr. Stephen Poop yeah and pretty sure that it would be the best as a black spider will easily stand out on the white sand during the day, and for the night, color isn’t that important
This is why I'm glad human females(most) just say no.
Could you imagine if you tried flirting and a girl tries eat your face?
Yeah, instead they just eat your income.
A Duck LOL
you're right, that's way worse
what if they do try to eat your face, and you arent doing anything the spider is doing, except for being fabulous?
urjnlegend Hmmmmm..... Good question. I'll have to weigh that.
Really fascinating spiders, the way they use vibrations in the sand to communicate and how they navigate home
A lot of Spiders use vibrations to some degree. Usually to detect prey or a threat. The web also is their vibration detection system.
I am just amazed by how you guys were able to film such thing a long time ago with great details. This is truly mesmerizing.
Dude how old are you? 2009 wasn't the 60's or something

"Where's he gone? There he is!" Top notch commentary m8
When he said that it reminded me of the teletubbies lol
Top notch Username m8 👍 😂

Odd, my sisters would say the same. And have scars to prove it.
Hahahaha
Anon Mason
Was she raped?
do you tap the ground to go to your home sir hhhh
Wow a show without propaganda forced down my throat amazing - thank you!
Traveled 50 meters from home looking for love but ends up fighting for his life.
"whoops, wheres he gone... oh there he is!" the commentary is A1
Spider: **gets attacked**
Narrator: “oh no!”
So Is Your Profile Pic

It's so strange how they easily pop open the sand covering their den, and then it flops down back so easily.
I'm so confused how there's just a flap in the ground. o.O someone enlighten me...
Probably used webbing to stick it all together
Look up trapdoor spiders ;) They make door out of silk, then cover it so it perfctly blends in enviroment. These doors are also very well made, allowing spider to exit/enter very very fast.
Noddle.
disturbing for me at the end
The White Lady Spider, when hunting , primarily feasts on Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Avocado Toasts
This is a white lady spider because in it's den there are chunky cardboard signs saying "Live Laugh Love," "Bless this Mess," and "Love gathers here."
"well at least we know what he wants"
lol yep. such is wildlife.
"He looks like he's gonna get sum."
"OOOH no he won't"
Friendzoned
Nope, foodzoned
If that’s friendzoned” I hate to see enemyzoned.
@@derp-construction3341 Fun fact: All male spiders are "foodzoned" to female spiders anyways. If she said no, she'd eat him. If she said yes, she'd still eat him after he fertilizes her. They get devoured either way.
Back to the burrow for spiderpornhub then for him I guess 🎻😓
is that his favorite Website??
But, he has 8 legs and no arms......porn is just pointless torture.....
hahahahaha
HE CAN DREAM CARL
Sin of Damnation spiderhub?
Wow what an awesome video! They actually look quite haunting in the night vision. Spiders are somehow beautiful in a creepy way...
look how delicate his legs are crawling across your bedroom floor
I've had similar booty call experiences.
Lol
vicious

Bibi Green haha
Hahaha the commenter: "yes, a female.. well at least we know what he's after."
Here in 2023. This spider has a luxurious home, with metallic pillars with blinking lights on top of them & a fabulous art statue of a spoon.
*male spider comes back with hot wheels lambo*
"how 'bout now?"
I thought this was the moon surface with giant mutant spiders.
The fuck are you smoking?
Same but just giant spiders tho
And the giant spoon??
@@boerepompie8244 aren't those normal on the moon?
LeAndrew Thomas oh I googled it, your right it’s normal my bad
"I think she wants to eat him" LOL
Every time this guy sees a spoon from now on he’s gonna think some Lady spider lives there… 😆
Absolutely the most relatable spider video ever.
I’m feelin’ ya bruh.
Poor little guy was only looking for some love..
the first ever "WHITE LADY SPIDER CAUGHT ON CAMERA"
narrator: it's a male.
me: owww..kay..
This raises the question, does spider have puss puss?
@@Sodasaman NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
IDK with myself male ladybugs
@@Sodasaman STOP
@@Sodasaman I know it was a joke but I may as well answer it, no, unlike Harvestemen (the wonky-leg spider-look-alikes, also arachnids) spiders do not have sexual parts like ours, that's what makes a male spider's life so much worse, he don't even get sum fuk, instead he basically hands over a vial with sperm in it.
On the other hand, the previously-mentioned Harvestmen DO have bits very close to ours, and they experience a good feeling from sex for sure, and the males can shake a female's sensory leg in some species to entice her to go for a second round. There is also a very funny 99mil. years-old amber with an erect harvesteman trapped in it.
They aren't called "Daddy" Long-legs for nothing.. So in short, harvestemen have pretty nice sexual lives and spiders have none and risk loosing their life over it lol, but there is a con, Harvestmen, just like most able males, have to fight each other for a female and it's not great and they do loose limbs, which unlike spiders they do not molt back, luckily they got 8 so it's not so bad lol. For some reason science is not really interested in harvestemen, probably because they don't have as much of a variation, generally-speaking and they are non-venomous, so you can't strike it rich with some painkiller or whatever developed from venom you extracted.
Why thank you RUclips for this old gem of a video you’re now just parading around for me to get entertained by while I can’t sleep
Best commentary in nature documentary ever
I love how this was made by showing us how it was made!
Love these kind of videos
maybe next time I get rejected by a girl who's taller than me, I should be thankful she doesn't eat me.
Maybe more so you don't get bullied by one or some.
tiggle5485 lol
I have arachnophobia and this wasn't that bad..........must have been the narrator
Yea the narrator has a very soothing voice for some reason.
And they personified the spider Thomas
I agree, but I have to question your logic... You have arachnophobia yet you clicked on a video about spiders?
It was an accident but after the first few seconds I got interested, plus I'm trying to get over my fear
Ah, ok, haha I'm cool with spiders s'long as they don't get into my territory
"it looks like he's gonna get some- oooh no" 💀💀
RUclips: wanna see a white lady spider back from 14 years ago?
Me: Say less.
Mesmerizing to watch. I love the commentator as well, he's not too silly and doesn't use stupid people talk to make his points. I like this.
Memorizing ?
+KyeBreh Sorry, I'm stupid as hell. I corrected it, my bad. -_-
That and there isn't stupid editing like cat growls like in monster bug wars
Cameron Casey have you ever watched monster bug wars? if not go watch it.
Good lad.
Just for the record. I'm seeing this video 14 years into the future after it was first created. Still pretty dope.
"This white lady is actually a male.."
Spider : "ITS MA'AM"
“This white lady, is actually, a dude”
Me:yep, it’s 2019
RUclipss recommendations never fail to stay topical even decades apart.
Accelerator yup

Best comment here lol
READY Oh thanks
I bet their holes are designed like a bass so when they tap on the ground they can feel an echo
John Joseph feel an echo ?
@@kindredreeb1119 I do now lol
Bruh they rave
JoJooooooo
John Joseph
Bass like the fish?
Male white spider: Damnit Karen I'm just trying to get some.
When he says "Go on, goooo ooooon" it sounds like he's looking forward to watching.
Once there was a spider, sitting at home. An object crashes into his house, while he's writing a tome. He goes to investigate, getting up from his ponder. He's quite lonely, "why," he wonders.
Yet there, in the darkness, he spotted something strange. A spoon! it's indent with much range. "It's human, I guess," he thinks very angrily. Why would these men ruin his sanctity?
Yet there, in the distance, he saw a familiar thing. Another spoon? In a place quite away?
And there, and then, he had quite a thought. "If my hole was specifically noted, other species's might not"
My goodness! A mate! He thought with a crash. How great a relationship? How long will it last?
So he ran to the spoon, his heart filled with love. And met a lady, beautiful as a dove.
He walked towards her, expressing his interest. And she yelled at him madly, he hadn't expected this!
He ran quickly home, guided by the spoon. And went back to writing his tome, setting humanities doom.
THE END
Oml
I'm dead.
Great job.
Up you go Mr. Poet
beautiful... just beautiful...
Truly a masterpiece, I shall be making note of this work of literary art in my special art diary. You sir have swooned my mental ear with your words of rhyme.
Fun Read
still a better love story then twilight
hahaha... I had a good chuckle over this one
Hi, I am from the future. I JUST WANT TO SAY this joke/meme had died
One question
WHY!
10 ... 10 years why RUclips sort your platform out .
Just why
The best 3 and a half mins of my life
The worse we get is a no
The worse they get is being eaten alive
Wrong.. The worse we get is a slap and public humiliation. -.-
Worst*
GingerBagels I did it on purpose.. ^^
Ozuka Well even if they get a yes they still get eaten afterwards
So the question is stay alive alone or get laid and die?
Meh. We still have porn.
lol is the white lady spider an off brand version of the black widow?
asda price 😂
No, its just a black widow with more privilege, and less heartache.
That's too true
Miss Mir Her privilege means nothing. Just kill her and she will be extinct. Problem solved.
Miss Mir 😭
1:00 😂😂😂 me when I lose my mum at the grocery shops
Left his radio on playing his jams when he feels the bass he knows the direction.
I like the way he clambers back into his borough at the end
BURROW.

Lol
Lol
Lol
Edward Lathers don't invade her home douche bag spider
Edward Lathers i wud b sad
Of course he knows where he's going there spoons everywhere 😂
I could have swore i saw one of these hanging outside of my front door in florida two years ago. It shined almost like a small crystal in the daylight. It was stunning. Probably saw another thing though.
Spiders sure got some dangerous dating practices.
Poor guy I felt his sadness when he went back home
Watching spiders trying to get lucky.
What am I doing with my life.
YOutube: wanna find out about some spider we hadn't seen until 14 years ago?
Me: Yes
Ha ha - same here - was going to make a similar comment.
aww too bad I bet Thomas just wanted to Netflix and chill but forgot his girlfriend was on her period.
lol
Hahahhah
Wooooooow that's a lil much bro
i like how the announcer is all, well go on get in there mate!
I know that was great lol
Such a great amount of encouragement for something possibly smaller than your big toe
Alternate title: spider in a "DO or DIE" situation"😂😂
I love the editing of this. "Wait, how is the audience going to know how we got this footage? I know, I'll just keep adding some quick shots of my Sony Handheld Camera panning around."
